Traditionally vinified Barolo from the estate's best vineyards. Brilliant ruby red colour. Complex, spicy bouquet of liquorice, tobacco, dried flowers, violets and damp leaves. Very emphatic, firm and full-bodied on the palate. Its racy and forward style is flanked by tangible, robust tannins. Finishes with a fine sweetness, elegant and long. The already undisputed high level will continue to develop in full beauty over the next few years. SUPERIORE.DE

"Our Barolo (Classico) has been a successful synthesis of the various characteristics of the Massolino vineyards for over 70 years. Thanks to traditional ageing in large Slavonian oak barrels, we preserve its pure and unadulterated identity and its complex flavours." Franco Massolino

"Bright, pronounced ruby red colour with a fine rim. Delicate and playful on the nose, fruity aromas of redcurrant and raspberry, followed by rose and subtle balsamic notes. Soft and supple on the palate, with compact fruit, tightly woven tannins, gentle persistence on the juicy finish." Falstaff

"The 2021 Barolo is a fabulous wine that reflects both the quality of the vintage and Massolino's very high standards. Supple and expressive, with remarkable depth, the Barolo is super-impressive. Macerated dark cherries, spices, lavender, menthol and blood orange unfold in the glass. What a great and complete wine this is. The pure Barolo is without question the hidden gem in this range." Vinous

"Captivating from the start, the nose offers scents of wild strawberries, violets, tarragon and liquorice. A marvellous depth of luscious red fruit mingles with tangy minerals. The tannins are polished and long and flow with graceful lightness through the mouth to the finish. So elegantly composed. Massolino has launched a beautiful range of 2021 wines, starting with the estate's 'classic' Barolo, which is not to be missed." Decanter

"Intense, smoky style of this Barolo, dominated by floral aromas, with notes of citrus combining with red fruits and gentle spice. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a strong acidity and tannins that are flexible and not dry, despite the still austere finish." James Suckling

"The Massolino 2021 Barolo shows a bright ruby red colour and a core of dark fruit. The plummy fruit hides tar, liquorice, pressed flowers and campfire ash. This wine has a pronounced spicy side, but it all fits right into a very delicate and refined delivery." Wine Advocate

"A beam of pure cherry permeates this juicy red. Supporting flavors of strawberry, rose, graphite and eucalyptus add depth, while vibrant acidity focuses the flavors and drives them through the lingering finish. A great example of the modern style of Barolo." Wine Spectator
